Kom Kucki is the highest summit of the Komovi mountain massif. Together with Kom Vasojevicki and Kom Ljevorecki, it belongs to the group of the ten highest and most impressive peaks in Montenegro. The ascent to Kom Kucki, a rugged rocky giant, is considered one of the more demanding climbs in the country due to its loose and exposed terrain near the summit, making it a true mountaineering challenge.

The trail begins at the Štavna plateau. The first approximately 1.8 km of the trail is the same for the ascent of Kom Kučki and Kom Vasojevićki. Initially, the trail follows a gravel road that leads right to the foot of Kom Vasojevićki (wooden shelters for rest), then continues along a footpath, gently uphill, for another 400 metres.

You reach a junction where the path straight ahead leads to Kom Vasojevicki, while the trail to Kom Kucki branches slightly to the right. From here, you enter a 4 km section through Medjukomlje, leading to the Kom Pass at 2,171 m, located above the Medjukomlje katun and between the peaks of Bavan and Kom Kucki. At the beginning of this section is the Jankova voda spring. The terrain along this part of the route is demanding. The first half is relatively flat but with frequent elevation changes, passing through blueberry shrubs, juniper, sparse mixed forest, and scree. You cross the largest scree slope in the Komovi massif, about 350 m long, below Kom Vasojevicki. The second half begins at a junction where a right turn leads toward Ljuban, while the Kom Kucki trail continues upward through the bottom of the Medjukomlje cirque. It climbs via grassy and rocky ledges to reach the Kom Pass.

From the pass, the trail turns right and ascends gently over a grassy slope covered with small stones, reaching the most demanding section – a rocky scree terrain. At the start of this section, you must overcome a short obstacle – a narrow rock gully about 3–4 meters high, with limited handholds.

From here to the summit, the landscape becomes entirely rocky. The trail continues diagonally left upward across scree, then after a small dip where the summit pyramid becomes visible, continues gently upward to another gully, which is also a steep scree slope several meters long. After passing this, the trail turns right and reaches the most challenging section: the summit ridge. This ridge is about 50–60 meters long, relatively steep, only 1–1.5 meters wide, and covered with loose rocks. To reach the top, you must traverse this exposed ridge, with sheer cliffs on both sides. In good weather conditions, and with proper caution, it can still be crossed safely.

The summit is rocky, relatively spacious, and safe. It offers outstanding panoramic views of the Komovi massif, the Kucke Mountains, Prokletije, Bjelasica, Sinjavina, the Moraca Mountains, Maganik, and many other mountain ranges.

Kom Kucki can also be approached from the southwest, starting from the Carine katun.
